What's the easiest way to get as close to cycles as i can on Eevee?
Eevee uses approximated direct-source lighting, and Cycles uses bounced lighting. To approximate bounced lighting in eevee, you must use an Irradiance Volume. Additionally, you must bake indirect lighting. As you can tell from this instruction, this only works with indirect light sources (point lights and the like are considered direct lights in eevee - use emission materials instead.) The &quot;softness&quot; in the shadows of the image below are as a result of the indirect light from the World Environment (grey background) - not the point light.
